History

During the early 1980s a group of health professionals in Western Australia formed the Promotion of Continence Association which later became the Continence Foundation of Australia (WA Branch). This group initiated the development of a Telephone Advisory Service that was funded by several grants until 1994 when it received funding from the Home and Community Care (HACC) Program.

Since July 2001 the core business of the Continence Advisory Service has been providing the following HACC Service Items; Counselling/Support, Information, Advocacy and Assessment.

Our core business is to provide information, education and advice on bladder and bowel control issues to all those directly or indirectly affected.  This includes all members of the public such as clients, carers, students, health professionals and various health and community agencies.
